I love your channel guys, especially how you don't cheap out on stuff. My mates always hassle me about spending on quality parts when there's something cheaper (but what they don't consider is that usually that cheaper stuff breaks easily, and fits poorly), but that's unfortunately what most people who own S chassis are like. Refreshing to see you using the S14 and this car for grip rather than drift! Keep it up, hope my S14 can be at that standard some time soon!

Very nice video. I am considering a supercharger for my 240z with a stock 280zx, 5 speed and Lsi 3.9 r/e. I want more low end, 2000-3000. I saw a 240 in the back ground in your shop. any thoughts? What videos have you done on your 240 and how do I find them?

how much weight did you guys gain from the kit? would it throw off the weight balance? If it does, would you be able to notice or does it harm the performance at all? I know, so many questions. Looking forward for response, thanks guys. Keep up the good work.

hi am about to install this set up too thus the tools on manual is all we need?

how is the fuel efficiency on 91 octane for that super charger system? City/highway mpg should expect within what ranges?

Just out of curiosity, could you have done this without removing that headlight? Worst case scenario I’ll do it but I remember having issues with the wiring in my headlights so I’d love to avoid that if possible

Can this be added to a stock brz without any problems or will you have to upgrade any engine internals?

Are you gonna beef up the injectors or tune it at all? Don't wanna lean it out and blow the new engine

What are your opinion on Jackson Racing Superchargers? Have you done any installs on GSR Integra? Any advice of going on that direction? Or go Kraftwerks? B18C1 Motor

hi, I have a Jackson racing c38 kit and live in Vegas so you know 100c + temps. What brand and weight oil you recommend? my car is daily driver and the occasional drag race maybe once every 3 months

i install the kit and my car wouldn't start with the new map sensor so i had to tune my car with the factory map sensor what was the problem

Can the Jackson racing be installed with stock everything

Hey dudes i want to built a supercharge on my FRS do you need to replace any part of the stock motor for the Jackson racing supercharge ? Or you can leave everything original?

Hey guys, does the FRS not have the same boxer motor in it? Why swap an FA-20 in it, isn't it the same engine?

Do you recommend the sprintex SC for daily driver? Will I get heal soak issues with daily driving?

awesome Danish supercharger!

hi, I have couple questions. how reliable is that setup? reliable than a 480whp sti on extensive track days? how much does this system cost? as I seen on video after installing supercharger, you did not tune the ecu. how is that possible? thank you in advanced

***** we wanted something simple and reliable for Ontario1500, since it's a really gruelling event with 7 straight days of racing. The Jackson Racing kit is proven to be super reliable on the street and at the track, so it should be a really good fit for this event. There are other ways to make more power, of course, but reliability was our first concern, and at around 280-300whp (just a guesstimate at this point) it should be a really well balanced package with the rest of our FR-S's setup.

@justintime6160

Speed Academy Thats fair and reliability is key especially with 7 days of straight torture for the car! however another questions; why did you guys stick with the stock/same engine from the cars base? why not a jz or a rb? or something along those lines?

@speedacademy

9 жыл бұрын

Couple reasons we stuck with the FA20. First was cost. Doing a 2JZ or RB swap is big, big bucks and we simply don't have the budget for it this year. Second was the need to prep the car on a fairly tight deadline and have it well sorted in time for ON1500. We've learned the hard way more than once that trying to do a difficult engine swap and then sort out all the bugs on a tight deadline is a recipe for failure. We knew we could simply put a fresher FA20 in quickly and easily and add the power we think we need to be competitive at an event like ON1500 via a well sorted and proven reliable S/C kit like JR's. But we do reserve the right to be stupid and do a crazy swap next year! :P

Someone explain to me why the MAF isnt on the inlet of the supercharger? Do these things have MAFs and MAP sensors? Last time I checked a MAF can't sense boost.

@speedacademy

8 жыл бұрын

Because MAFs can be calibrated to read positive pressure, it's called a blow-thru setup and is common on NA vehicles that are being turbo or supercharged.

Guys so you have gone in with standard OE injectors and you haven't altered the ECU and now you're pumping what 7-8 PSI, so haven't you run the risk of running the pistons dry? ie on thin mixture like under 12:1? Also you won't get any extra power unless the fuel flow is cranked up. Did any of that get addressed before you started her up for the first time.

8 жыл бұрын

+gus bisbal I think you need to watch this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aoxtxq1peMLIiag.html As for the supercharger operating during idle and cruising, it's not making any significant boost so the car runs and drives fine on the OEM map.

aceofclubskid definitely needs a tune (though you can buy this kit with a supplied tune but we opted for the self-tune kit since we already have an Ecutek and our buddy Sasha from OnPoint Dyno to tune it). At the standard boost level the stock injectors and fuel pump are sufficient, but if we upgrade to the higher boost pulley we'll need bigger injectors and a higher flow rate pump.
